About this map

Bartomes Spring and the East Range mountains dominate this Pershing County landscape, recorded during a 1988 field check. The area is defined by its water sources and mining potential, with Sulphur Spring and Hot Spring providing critical water in a series of deep canyons. These drainages, including Leach Canyon and Lone Pine Canyon, carve through the high desert terrain toward the eastern boundary at Table Mountain.

Evidence of historical prospecting is concentrated in the western portion of the map, where Mine Tunnels and various Prospects suggest a period of active mineral exploration. A high-voltage Transmission Line cuts across the northern canyons, reflecting the modern infrastructure overlaying a landscape of seasonal waterways like Peavine Creek and Marble Creek. The map provides a detailed view of the remote canyon systems that once supported local livestock and small-scale mining operations.
